City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 05/11/2021
Reorg of Clerk's Office to Administrative Services - Job Description Changes
Staff Lead: Jessica Neill Hoyson
Department: Human Resources
Preparer: Jessica Neill Neill Hoyson
Background/History
The Administration has determined that combining the Administrative Services Department (formerly
Finance Department) will leverage the similarity in work between the departments, provide better
synchronization of services, and achieve maximum value for the City.
Staff Recommendation
Forward the attached job descriptions to full Council for approval
Narrative
Consolidating the administrative functions of these two departments will allow for enhanced
coordination, planning and communication in areas including records management, technology
improvements, purchasing, budgeting, and personnel functions. Additionally, common problem solving
would help coordinate the departments' capabilities to address residents needs.
With the influx of state monies being received by the City, this reorg will allow for more employees to
assist in supporting this work and in turn result in less employee burnout. Additionally, this will provide
more opportunities for employees to learn new skills.
The job description changes presented address three things, cleanup of the job descriptions that were
outdated, overlap of work and how the job would fit into the Administrative Services Department, and
any general cleanup to address reporting structure. There are two compensation changes noted. One is
for the position of Public Records Officer and the other is for the position of Administrative Assistant. It
should be noted that both of these pay changes were outstanding issues with the Union which would
needed to have been addressed even had the reorganization not occurred.
The Administrative Services Director job description is presented for approval as the new oversight of
the function of the Clerk and Records needed to be noted, along with the department name change. The
Deputy Director Administrative Services is also presented as the position needed general cleanup,
department name change, and noting that this position would have direct line supervision of the
Records function. There is a pay change to this position to align the compensation with the Deputy
Director of Parks and Recreation.
An org chart showing how the new department will be organized is attached along with a summary of
the position changes and the economic impacts. A budget amendment for 2021 will not be needed.
